## Frequently Asked Questions
### What rubber material should I use for outdoor seals?
EPDM rubber is the best choice for outdoor applications. It offers excellent UV resistance, ozone resistance, and weathering properties with a temperature range of -40°C to +120°C.
### Do you cut rubber to custom lengths?
Yes, we offer a cut-to-length service. Most rubber strips and profiles can be ordered in exact lengths to minimise waste.
### What is the difference between solid and sponge rubber?
Solid rubber is dense and provides compression resistance and durability. Sponge rubber (foam) is softer, provides cushioning and better sealing for irregular surfaces, and comes in open-cell or closed-cell variants.
### Which rubber resists oil and fuel?
Nitrile rubber (NBR) offers excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and petroleum-based products. Neoprene also provides moderate oil resistance.
### How do I choose the right edge trim size?
Measure the thickness of your panel or sheet metal. Edge trim grips panels from 0.5mm to 12mm depending on the profile. Check our Edge Trim Sizing Guide for detailed measurements.
